The User and The Stockholder

October 5, 2011by Ben

The iPhone user in me is most excited about the iPhone 4S.

The Apple stockholder in me is most excited about the $0 iPhone 3GS. Apple has just opened up the free phone market to the iPhone and I think millions of people who would previously get a cheap flip phone will step up to the iPhone 3GS even with the additional $15 per month data fee.

The iPhone user in me can’t wait to upgrade my now 2+ year old 3GS. Faster, better camera and Retina Display!

The Apple stockholder in me can’t wait to see the sales numbers on a $99 iPhone 4 that will be available on not only AT&T, but also Verizon and now Sprint. This will be the first time that these CDMA customers have had access to a $99 iPhone.
